After over a year of 1: not dancing (I used to take ballet and modern almost daily) and 2: being diagnosed with leukemia, undergoing intense chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, radiation, more chemotherapy and lying around in hospital beds for who knows how many months, I am taking on getting back in dancing condition.
I am still undergoing treatment currently, and am not feeling up to taking any dance yet, but this is the first step in getting there!
I'll be posting an updates rating where I am on a scale of 1-10 for each stretch I am evaluating. This is also a place I welcome discussion and tips on the subject!
First Day
I will use a scale of 1-10. 10 being my previous most flexible as I remember myself, 1 being the starting point now.
I did some sun salutations and other yogic-like postures then went straight to stretching. Starting tomorrow I will be more specific about how exactly I am stretching. Today is to document the beginning point.
And YES I am wearing a t-shirt that is bright pink, sparkly and says "Glee Club." Also sporting blue socks with birds on them. Fashion is a very important component of this process. Clearly.
